I get a bit cross with the squirrels nicking the bird seed and eating the hazelnuts before they ripen, and with the pigeons stripping the cherry tree again this year, and the redcurrants before I could get a net on it But I love seeing the blue t*ts and great t*ts, and the robins who keep me company when I'm digging. We also had long tailed t*ts and a woodpecker this week
I've just last year replanted my raspberries as the canes got too old, so we didn't have a huge crop this year but the blackbirds love them so we have to net those (but they are later so we'd had our warning) We use old net curtains rather than garden netting, as we've found the birds don't get caught in that, and the whiteness scares them off a bit.
There's a whole family of magpies using our apple tree as an "all you can eat" buffet at present but they are keeping the parakeets away.
oh yeah! And to my scrapbooking and cooking too, since the feeders and bird bath are in full view of my kitchen windows!
We have humming birds, finches, martins, chickadees, tufted titmouse, robins, cardinals, the occasional rosy breasted grosbeak, hairy, downy, yellowbellied and piliated wood peckers, common flickers, mourning doves, and others which I can't remember without my list.
Oddly, we get WAY more birds here in the 'suburbs' than we ever got out in the country.
